Students must ensure that their cue sheet meets the following guidelines:
- Double sided, 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of paper (handwritten or typed)
- 12 point font or larger
- Written in English (unless course appropriate)
- Provides cues ("triggers") the student developed from the course material to assist in the recollection of previously learned information
- May include acronyms, pictures, acrostics, visual chains, mnemonics, mind maps, diagrams, or other symbols
- May be organized in a variety of ways, including chronologically, by modules, themes, chapters, theories, and applications
- Includes only cues to learned information that the student cannot retrieve
- Only makes sense to the student; typically, would not be useful to other students in the course
- Does NOT include include facts, concepts, procedures, etc. that the student might be expected to know for a course
